When It's All Over

Graduation! It was such a memorable time in middle school. So many friends were made and lost. The memories I made there will last forever. Some say graduation is a wonderful, happy, fun time; and it is. There are however the sad parts too. People you have come to know and love are leaving. Friends that have inspired you and helped you are going away. You don't know if you will ever see them again. It is a great time but what about those people who will never come back after the summer?

I have one friend that I know won't be coming back next year. She has been such a motivation in my life and I'm sure in the lives of others. Her name is Audra. Without her I would never have done my first year of basketball, or my second and third. She motivated me to try harder and achieve the most I could. She has been such a wonderful influence in my life and i am sorry to see her go. I will miss her dearly. I almost cried when we said goodbye but I held it together for her.

Thank you so much Audra for your wonderful influence on my life. I will remember you for a long time and will continue to play basketball like I promised.

Memories

Some people have only memories. Many take them for granted. They are something we need to hold onto as family and friends. They can be shared through stories, videos and pictures. These are some memories I would like to share with everyone: The fist picture is of my cousin Kienan while he was visiting us from Indonesia. The second is of his sister Jaiden also during that trip. Third is my aunt and cousin. She would not stop laughing that day. It was right before Christmas. The fourth is also of Jaiden on that trip. It was a great time of family and fun. The fifth is of my best friend ever Katie. She spent the night that night and we had a ton of fun (Love ya Katie)!!!! The sixth picture is of my dog. He was given away because we weren't home enough to take care of him, but he will always be loved here. The seventh picture is of Jamin, my brother. He was posing for the camera that day. The eighth picture is of me. My aunt was taking pictures of me and my uncle playing bass. She edited this one for me. The ninth picture is a picture of my friends and I. This was taken right before a trip we all took together. I am on the far left, Abbey is next to me, next to her is Michelle who is hiding, and finally there is Lisa on the far right. Finally, the last picture is of me and my cousin Zailey. This was at a family reunion. With her being only a day younger we hung out most of the time. These are just a few of the many memories I have.
